Bleach: Why the Story Ended so Abruptly

gamerant.com:

This content contains spoilers from the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War ArcAfter following Ichigo's story for nearly two decades, the Bleach epilogue left fans with much to be desired with its impetuous execution. TheBleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Arc depicts a battle of epic proportions, as Kurosaki Ichigo and his fellow Shinigami clash with King Ywach and his Quincy Clan. With Gotei 13 members disintegrating left and right, the almighty Yamamoto included, all hope seems lost — until Ichigo finally gets an opening and overthrows the formidable King.

But all too quickly, the scene skips ahead a decade into the future, showing the unexpected coupling of Ichigo and Orihime alongside Rukia and Renji, as they go about their day in a technologically advanced Seireitei. This epilogue seemed quite abrupt and hastily assembled, leaving readers with more questions than answers.

Bleach: What is Kido?

Physically speaking, Kubo reported that he suffers from torn tendons in his shoulder along with a partial fracture, caused by drawing for hours on end for a solid 15 years. By 2011, his overall health began deteriorating significantly due to a recurring cold that he could not shake. The Mangaka artist would often be bedridden for up to a week at a time, only to recover and fall ill yet again. Although he regularly worked through the pain, Kubo's declining health undoubtedly affected his productivity and made prolonging the Bleach arc a strenuous task. Mental health issues also became problematic as the talented artist battled with depression, aggravated by his creative process which could become a very solitary and isolating experience, debilitating his motivation to continue working on Ichigo's epic tale.
